Re: Core Techniques in Aikido -- and Why
Where I currently train, folks start with and learn variations from "Basic Eight" which, I believe, probably came from Tohei Sensei/Ki Society? They are:
Katatori ikkyo
Katatori nikyo
Yokomenuchi Shihonage
Shomenuchi Kokyunage (which is everybody else's iriminage)
Tsuki Kotegaishe
Forward projection throw from a ushiro bear hug
Sankyo from ushiro wrist grab/hand to throat
Kokyu dosa
